CDC really fu&&*ed up.
Budget cuts and layoffs are needed.
And if they can’t even keep their own labs sterile...
The CDC has been politicized by the Left for decades.
A prime objective of the CDC has been to push gun control.
Move the CDC to Nebraska where they have the bio containment hospital and leave the incompetents behind.
NYT tried to debunk “we inherited a broken system” and came up short
In other words, Trump”s fault.
First gen testing.. I tried to tell folks.. but they just want a test now.. whether it is accurate or not. It will be a couple of years before a truly accurate test is available without interfering substance with acceptable sensitivities and specificities. .
They need to hire more ‘experts’.
“He found an astonishing lack of expertise in commercial manufacturing and learned that nobody was in charge of the entire process, they said.”
In other words is the usual FedGov f******.
When this thing is over fully 80% of it needs to be gutted like a fish.

C.D.C. Closes Anthrax and Flu Labs After Accidents
By Donald G. McNeil Jr.
July 11, 2014
After potentially serious back-to-back laboratory accidents, federal health officials announced Friday that they had temporarily closed the flu and anthrax laboratories at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta and halted shipments of all infectious agents from the agency’s highest-security labs.
The accidents, and the C.D.C.’s emphatic response to them, could have important consequences for the many laboratories that store high-risk agents and the few that, even more controversially, specialize in making them more dangerous for research purposes.
If the C.D.C. — which the agency’s director, Dr. Thomas Frieden, called “the reference laboratory to the world” — had multiple accidents that could, in theory, have killed both staff members and people outside, there will undoubtedly be calls for stricter controls on other university, military and private laboratories.
In one episode last month, at least 62 C.D.C. employees may have been exposed to live anthrax bacteria after potentially infectious samples were sent to laboratories unequipped to handle them. Employees not wearing protective gear worked with bacteria that were supposed to have been killed but may not have been. All were offered a vaccine and antibiotics, and the agency said it believed no one was in danger.

CDC keeps secret its mishaps with deadly germs
Jan. 4, 2017
[Incidents at labs in Atlanta and Fort Collins, Colo., 2013 - early 2015.]
But but but they said this was trumps fault
“contaminated”, yeah, sure. IF you want to believe that CDC fked up.
Gubmint and who-knows-what-else-entities want to 10X (just a number I picked) the Covid-19 cases and got caught. The purpose is so that any draconian measure(s) are acceptable by the populace. “Never let a crisis go to waste”, as some said.
That’s my theory and I’m sticking to it.
Thanks Obama.
This report destroys the objectivity that Dr. Fauci has been trying to earn. He gave an impassioned story a couple of days back during the press briefing on how the CDC “made mistakes” in its initial rollout of testing. Yet he failed to admit to the details of what the “mistakes” actually were, and WHO IT WAS THAT MADE THEM.
“Mistakes were made” is NOT an admission of failures. It, in fact, blames some unknown “mistake maker”. Shame on you, Dr. Fauci.
We don’t need no steenkin’ GMP’s!
CDC IS FAUCI
FAUCI IS CDC
This story will never make it to the National News.. ...St Fauci is in charge and he will not be blemished. Ever. No matter what.
Liberal response - ‘Lets put government in charge of health care’.
Yet another cabel of incompetent, uncaring-boob government “workers”. Didn’t these bums have any sense of responsibility...or any integrity? Apparently not. Their agenda apparently did not include meeting their obligations and doing their job. Collecting a paycheck and figuring out their retirement benefits appears to be the daily routine of all too many government “workers” (or awtching porn at “work”). Losers.

Wait a minute, aren’t “official experts” ALWAYS RIGHT???
Doesn’t just giving them their official “expert” titles and positions imbue them with intelligence far above any other “experts” you could find, on the subjects on which they are the official “experts”??? /sarc
